I'm really torn when it comes to closer's. Can they be considered failed starters...maybe, but they are an accepted part of the game these days and there probably should be a place for them in the HOF. With that said, I would think you need to be a completely dominant one to get in, and I am not sure there are any in that I would consider dominant.
Even Eckersley, who is regarded as a top closer of all-time...take a look at his 11 year stretch as closer as far as ERA: 1987 - 3.03 1988 - 2.35 1989 - 1.56 1990 - 0.61 1991 - 2.96 1992 - 1.91 1993 - 4.16 1994 - 4.26 1995 - 4.83 1996 - 3.30 1997 - 3.91 His dominance fizzled after 5 years or so...his starting numbers were good, but certainly not HOF worthy as maybe a Smoltz would be considered. So why is Eckersley in the HOF?
